A comfortable, very well-equipped cottage with lovely garden. Quiet and a bit out of the way, which we liked, but in fact not all that far from Holt, Cromer and the North Norfolk coast. National Trust properties Felbrigg and Blickling are nearby. By a fluke we had amazing, hot weather- the September heatwave- and sitting in the peaceful garden in the morning and early evening was very relaxing. All thanks to Zieta for a lovely stay and for the generous welcome hamper.
Lovely ,quiet cottage with a fabulously large garden . The cottage was spotless and was very well equipped . Space to store bikes was a bonus .
Warm welcome from owner, generous welcome pack, beautiful location, well-appointed house ( especially kitchen) and garden. Very comfortable. And iit was as advertised- the info and photos were an accurate description
We enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing week at Pear Tree Cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and Zieta was a very friendly and helpful host - the welcome pack of provisions was extremely generous ! We also enjoyed the beautiful garden overlooking open fields. Thank you Zieta for your kind hospitality.
The cottage was clean, compfy and brilliantly equipped. The garden and outside benchs, table plus bar-b-q superb. The owner extremely helpful
Cottage excellent, very welcoming owner, marvellous goodies left for us, all in a wonderful location if you are happy with narrow roads.
Excellent, extremely well provisioned clean cottage. Superb large tranquil garden overloooking Norfolk countryside. Knd, welcoming, helpful owner.
Lovely fuss-free but personal welcome. The owner had left the key in the door, some essentials and treats were in the kitchen and soothing classical music was playing on the sound system. The owner popped out say hello and check we had everything we needed. We were actually in contact with regular text messages a couple of days before the stay and throughout - she was very friendly and responsive. The house is lovely. We are just a couple and we enjoyed spreading out but it would suit a family very well too. There is a lovely garden that we didn't manage to use but the house was very comfy - good quality mattresses on the beds (so important) and nice attractive antique furniture. The kitchen is very well equipped for a holiday cottage. If I were super-picky I might say that the knives were not the best, but we managed. The salad spinner was a nice touch - unusual to find one in holiday accommodation and really useful, particularly if you want to feast on fresh crab salad!
Cottage superbly clean, warm, cosy but light and airy. Beautifully fitted out with high end goods. A superb garden and gorgeously quiet location. Perfect in every way. Came here 8 years ago and it was just as perfect the second time around.
It was a very comfortable cottage. Well equipped with attention to detail. There was a generous welcome hamper and the owner very helpful.
This is a lovely, cosy and warm cottage, quite the best we have stayed at. It is well-furnished and very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. Ideal for a couple or small family. It also has a lovely garden which looks out over open farmland. Very peaceful.
Helpful friendly welcome to a super cottage and garden. Very high standard of welcome basket and kitchen equipment..

The cottage is in a superb situation and equipped to a very high standard. Garden is excellent to sit and listen to nature
Lovely quiet, country setting and still close to towns and villages. Spotlessly clean, spa quality linens, well-equipped kitchen. Couldn't ask for more.
This is a lovely cottage, very clean, well equipped and in a peaceful location but handy for visiting Norfolk Tourist attractions. Very good welcome pack with quality items. Would highly recommend.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
